The main advantage of minimally invasive thyroidectomy is a good cosmetic effect. Minimally invasive video-assisted thyroidectomy (MIVAT) is performed without gas insufflation in contrast to endoscopic thyroidectomy. In general, MIVAT is carried out through an incision in the middle part of the neck, not covered with clothes. The MIVAT thyroid lobectomy can also be done through the subclavicular approach. We describe a case of a 19-year-old female patient with a tumour of the left side of the neck. Thyroid ultrasound scan (UST) with thyroid fine-needle aspiration and cytological examination (FNAC) were performed. Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), free triiodothyronine (FT3) and anti-tyreoperoxidase (ATPO) were checked. Video-assisted hemithyroidectomy was performed through an incision below the left clavicle. Intraoperative pathology examination of the specimen was carried out. The UST showed a solitary 13 mm × 23 mm nodule in the left lobe of the thyroid, the FNAC showed benign pathology. Thyroid function tests were normal (TSH 0.90 mIU/l; FT3 4.70 pmol/l). Video-assisted hemithyroidectomy was done through the incision below the left clavicle. Histopathological examination proved thyroid hyperplasia nodosum. There were no intra- or postoperative complications. The patient was discharged on the second day. Clinical and cosmetic outcomes 2 months after surgery were good. Minimally invasive video-assisted thyroid lobectomy performed via the subclavicular area is feasible and provides good cosmetic outcomes.
